skyboy59 -> need some help with cs2 (10/4/2005 16:40:43)

hm, what are scanlines? is it that lots of line thing you get from gradient tool?

and then the other question is, you know the bgs with lots of squares in the bg? think el uses them a lot in his sigs, they look like a honeycomb... is that a pattern thing of a brush? and if it's a brush, can i get link to download it




Loki -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/4/2005 16:50:11)

Scanlines are a user set pattern. I believe I showed you how to make them already, sky...

But if I haven't, you have to open a new 5x5 px document. Use the magic eraser on it and then get out your pencil tool. Using black, make 5 (?) dots in a diagonal through the center. When you're finished with that, go Edit>Define Pattern. You can now use scanliens whenever you want! Just go Fill>Pattern>Choose Pattern and pick scanlines from the list.

(When making the pattern, it's most helpful to work at 1600% zoom.)



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/4/2005 16:52:18)

you didnt show me before :/

wait, so scan lines... arent actually lines? what the... who is on jello naming these :/

or is it a very pixalated line?



Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/4/2005 18:22:52)

haven't you ever seen the lines in the bgs of sigs? they are used all the time in userbars, look at the lines in the bg of one if you are still puzzled, I don't use PS but I know that you can also make scanlines with a 3x3 document



New Eradicator -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/4/2005 19:24:44)

I use PS. Vader's right about the scanline technique. You could always download the scanlines, but I don't have the url right now.



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 12:32:18)

the only real lines i see in bgs are the large white highlight line :/ or the gradient lines...

and i dont think those are scan lines :/

hm, i'll try the thing out tonight lol, i fell asleep last night before i got to try it lol

That sig has scanlines in it

I'll see if I can't find a link to where you can download them

Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 16:10:36)

you don't need to download them, just make em' yourself



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 16:40:44)

tkill... so that black line is the scan line? how cant you call it lines when there are only one?



Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 18:09:39)

no, the lines that are going diagonally in the bg are scan lines



magic war -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 18:17:33)

The border in mine is a scanline border, or so I'm told.
I did it a different way though, I made a 3x3, zoomed in 1600%, made dots in (think of it as a tic-tac-toe game): both corners on left, top right, bottom center, right center, and center.



Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 18:24:25)

it is a scan line border

so how is this for scan line?

I cant tell... I know this is too large for a sig, but I liked the details



Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 18:38:01)

there you go, its good, but don't overuse scanlines, they don't look good with everything



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 19:13:02)

wait... how do you limit it? I just did fill... and it filled everything



Tkill -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 19:38:44)

You can't limit if you don't want so many I usally set the fill layer to over layer and miss with the opactiy.
If your talking about what vader said he means there not good for everthing some sigs are better with out them.



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 21:22:02)

can you make scan lines with stars? or a diamond?



Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 21:23:50)

I guess, you can make whatever pattern you want, nobody's ever done that before



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 21:32:26)

ok yay, so they just have to be something that fits into each other? forget that it is called, but like those pictures that face and vase picture?



Vader -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 21:35:17)

all you have to do is make a pattern of lines going diagonally and add some stars to it by drawing them



magic war -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 21:47:09)

Well, if you only want it in a certain area, at least on PS7 it will only fill a selection if I have a selecton and ask for the scan lines to fill it.



skyboy59 -> RE: need some help with cs2 (10/5/2005 22:10:44)

is this one better? it's smaller lol
